Re: Black List founder Franklin Leonard answers your questions about the Black List
Our readers are, to a person, not Arts grads trying to break into the industry. Some are 25, some are younger, but they have all broken into the industry in some capacity and, as I've said before, all have worked previously as first filters at major agencies, production companies, or studios. Some of our readers have as much as decades of experience reading for the major studios in an official capacity.
They are not reading based on a template, nor is evaluating for story, character, plot, originality, and marketability fairly straightforward. If it was, there would have never have been an annual Black List in the first place, nor would there be this new initiative.
I do like the idea of the third read automatically triggered. It would not be free, however. $25 (a 50%) discount feels reasonable, but like I said, I want to take a closer look at the data once we have a month's worth.
